IELTS Writing Task 2: : 'university subjects' essay This is an essay for IELTS exam writing task 2. I hope someone could give me some advice on my work. Your help is greatly appreciated!!!!! --- SUBJECT: Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. ESSAY: Choosing a university major is what we have to deal with when we decide to pursue higher education after graduating from high schools. It might be easy for some people when they know exactly what they like, but it might be hard to others who have no idea what their interests are. For the better future of students and our society as a whole, some people suggest that we should only give students useful subjects to choose from, such as science or technology. Personally, I disagree with this passive resort. Admittedly, technology helps us in many ways. We have great medical developments thanks to technology, and our lives are easier due to technology. Moreover, space exploration is perhaps more relevant than the meaning behind Shakespeare’s poems to people in general. Thus, degrees such as medicine, engineering, and computer science are more popular than literature, history and philosophy. They ensure more job opportunities and better salaries, so it is true that studying them could secure better career paths. Despite these advantages of studying certain degrees, we should not force anyone in doing what they are not interested in. In particular, not everyone is good at mathematics or science. If we were told to do something we were not confident with, chances are there would not be good results. People might be unhappy and might doubt their self-worth when they fail. By doing this, we might also restrain somebody from being, for instance, an inspiring musician or an influential writer. All subjects should be treated equally important. We need historians and archaeologists to tell us where we came from and the wisdom of our ancestors. We also need artists such as musicians and painters to color our life. Therefore, we must not confine students in choosing what they prefer to study. Instead, we should give them freedom to cultivate their enthusiasm and shine in their own way. (315 words)

IELTS exam writing task 2: Will Convenience Foods Replace Traditional Foods? This is an essay for IELTS exam writing task 2. I hope someone could give me some advice on my work. Your help is greatly appreciated!!!!! ---- Convenience foods will become increasingly prevalent and eventually replace traditional foods and traditional methods of food preparation? To what extend do you agree or disagree? People living in this modern society are getting busier and having less time due to the fast-paced society and work environment. It is easier and faster to just grab a sandwich from a convenience store on the way to work rather than preparing it at home. Admittedly, there are many benefits convenience foods have brought us. Nevertheless, I do not think they can completely replace traditional foods. Convenience foods have gained much more popularity as our lifestyle has changed dramatically. We live in cities with millions of people around us working day by day from sunrise to sunset. It is hard for us to find time to go shopping for ingredients and go home preparing meals since we do not even have time to rest. Hence, packaged foods were invented to cater for our fast-moving life. They are ready to serve, accessible, and very often, affordable. With many advantages of convenience foods mentioned above, traditional foods still take a very important role in our diet. People enjoy the fun to prepare food for their family and even themselves; People appreciate the delicate taste of homemade foods much more than the fast foods which taste all the same; people know traditional foods are healthier options comparing to roughly-made packaged foods. Even if it takes more time and costs more to prepare food by ourselves, more and more people are upholding healthy and balanced diets, especially nowadays. It is possible that convenience foods continue to be more influential in our lives, but, in my opinion, there is no way that they can replace conventional foods wholly one day.

IELTS Writing Task 1: Radio and Television Audiences This is an essay for IELTS exam writing task 1. I hope someone could give me some advice on my work. Your help is greatly appreciated!!!!! -------- The graph gives information about radio and television audiences in the UK during a day in 1992. It is noticeable that television was more popular than radio in the evening while radio was more popular in the morning. In general, more people watched television than listening to radio, since the percentage of audience that television received were(was?) nearly twice the figure for radio. To be more specific, the percentage of people listening to radio reached a peak at 8 am when (where?) almost 30 % of British turned on their radio, in the meantime, television only had less than 10 % of audience. In contrast to radio, more people liked to watch television in the evening, especially at 8 pm when nearly 45 % of British enjoyed various television shows, whereas only close to 7 % of people listened to radio. Besides 8 in the morning and in the evening when (where?) radio and TV received the most audience respectively, we can also observe another peak at 2 pm when(where?) around 15 % of audience spent their time on both media. (179 words) Questions: 1. Should I write 'was' or 'were'? since I am not sure 'the percentage of audience' is plural or singular ... 2. Can I replace 'when' with 'where' as I noted them in the paragraphs? and if yes, which one is better? Thank you in advance for your help! :)

IELTS Writing Task 1: Population Pyramids This is an essay for IELTS exam writing task 1. I hope someone could give me some advice on my work. Your help is greatly appreciated!!!!! --- The charts illustrate the difference in the age structure of the populations of France and India in the year 1984. It is obvious that in India, there were more young people taking up the proportion of the total population. While in France, people in all age groups were distributed almost evenly with the number of the young people slightly surpassing the figure for the elderly people. To be more specific, young Indians in 1984 aged from 0 to 30 took up nearly 70% of the India’s population. However, young people in France made less than half of its total population. The same phenomenon that we can observe in both countries is that there was no significant difference in the number of males and females at different ages. Furthermore, in 1984, France saw a greater proportion of people lived longer, with around 9 % of the French aged 70 and over. By contrast, it only shows a relatively smaller proportion, less than 3%, of Indians being over 70 years old. (169 words)

IELTS Writing Task 1: Comparison Diagram This is an essay for IELTS exam writing task 1. Hope someone could give me some advice on what I did. Your help is greatly appreciated!!!!! --- The first picture shows the current layout of the ground floor of a house, and the second picture illustrates the changes that will be made to the floor. The significant changes we can notice in the second picture are that the existing hall is going to be removed, along with the internal wall next to the living room being torn down and the relocation of the stairs. The stairs will be moved slightly away from where they are now to the corner of the living room, and as storage under the stairs will not be included in the new floor plan, even with longer staircase, the living room will become more spacious than it used to be. The doors to the kitchen and the living room are facing each other now, but they will be relocated and to be placed together on one side connecting the kitchen and the new living room. We can also notice that there will be a new set of furniture in the kitchen. Other than that, the entrances of the house will remain the same. (179 words)

IELTS Writing Task 1: 'before and after' diagram The pictures show the existing plan of an art gallery and how it will be like after renovation. One obvious change is that the art gallery will become more spacious, so then the gallery will be able to serve more functions. Secondly, the entrance will be moved to another side of the gallery, by the time, visitors can appreciate artworks directly as soon as they step into the gallery. The temporary exhibition space will be removed in order to make room for the permanent exhibition space to be twice as big as it is now. The lobby and the office will no longer be part of the gallery as they will be replaced by an education area and a room for storage. The extended area of the art gallery is relatively big enough to be divided into two rooms. One will be containing special exhibitions and the other one will then be serving as an exhibition store.

IELTS Writing Task 1 : 'school buildings' The diagrams illustrate a school site in 2004 and future changes to it in 2024. The main changes to the school site is to build (open?) another road in front of school building 2 and to relocate (moves?) sports field to the other side of the road, so it can make room for another car park and a new school building. In 2004, there were only 2 two school buildings and 1 one car park and 1 one sports field, along with a car park ahead of the main entrance. The school site was built with the capacity of 600 students. Moving to 2024, a new school building is to be built on the original site of the sports field, we can expect to have 1000 student attending the school by then. (we can see the capacity rises up to 1000 students attending the school by then?) With the construction of a new car park to the right of the new school site, the sports field will be moved to another side of the road and is opposite to the car park and the new school building and becomes smaller. Also, another change to the old school buildings is that they will be connected in 2024. (174 words) This is an essay for IELTS exam writing task 1. Hope someone could give me some advice on what I did. Your help is greatly appreciated!!!!! P.S. the words/sentences in parenthesis are those I wrote down initially but not sure if they sound right or wrong. If anyone can also comment on them, that would be fantastic!! Thanks!
